Question

Why won't my 7 and 1/2 month old drink her bottles anymore?

Share

my baby is 7 and 1/2 months and she is no longer interested in her bottle. i tried putting the formula in sippy cups, the nuby bottles, the avent bottles and nothing is working. (i normally use the vent-aire playtex bottles) she's been like this for almost a week and now it's getting down to where she will only drink a 6 oz. bottle a day. im worried because i know she needs this nutrition and fluids. she is eating solids, cereal in the mornings and she will only eat 2 jars a day, and is now also not interested in veggies, just fruits. is anyone else having this probelm or is she just being stubborn?

My daughter is 6 1/2 months and shes doing the same thing, but she is now not drinking nothing of milk. Everytime I try to put a bottle in her mouth she screams and cries. It is worrying me as well. She has never bean a really good milk drinker so the PD put her on solids at 5 months and she used to have a 6-7 ounces of milk before bed and sleep all night and wake up around 6:30 have another bottle. But now she won't have any.I am taking her to the dic tomorrow. I hope I get some anwers.
